Finds beginning of range that matches a specified key.
    iterator lower_bound(key_type key);
Parameters
- key
 Key value to search for.
Remarks
The member function determines the first element X in the controlled sequence that hashes to the same bucket as key and has equivalent ordering to key. If no such element exists, it returns hash_multiset::end (STL/CLR)(); otherwise it returns an iterator that designates X. You use it to locate the beginning of a sequence of elements currently in the controlled sequence that match a specified key.
Example
// cliext_hash_multiset_lower_bound.cpp 
// compile with: /clr 
#include <cliext/hash_set> 
 
typedef cliext::hash_multiset<wchar_t> Myhash_multiset; 
int main() 
    { 
    Myhash_multiset c1; 
    c1.insert(L'a'); 
    c1.insert(L'b'); 
    c1.insert(L'c'); 
 
// display initial contents " a b c" 
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1) 
        System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem); 
    System::Console::WriteLine(); 
 
    System::Console::WriteLine("lower_bound(L'x')==end() = {0}", 
        c1.lower_bound(L'x') == c1.end()); 
 
    System::Console::WriteLine("*lower_bound(L'a') = {0}", 
        *c1.lower_bound(L'a')); 
    System::Console::WriteLine("*lower_bound(L'b') = {0}", 
        *c1.lower_bound(L'b')); 
    return (0); 
    } 
 
a b c lower_bound(L'x')==end() = True *lower_bound(L'a') = a *lower_bound(L'b') = b
